Poem no. 250

POEM TITLE

I KNOW A PLACE

POEM

I know a world to the north

Where the oceans knock

I know a place by the sea

Somewhere around the west

A place with a handful of men

A place on whose shores

The sea is gentle

Upon which the sun is graceful

I know a place

A place ears have not heard

Eyes have not seen

Foot have not trod

Mind has not discerned

I know a place

A place with a pub for lobsters

I won't speak for them

But everything therein

Goes down as smooth as oil

As fine as honey

I know a place

A place on whose shores

The only ship that never sailed

Never kissed the surface harbor

I know a place

A place where light and dark

Cohabit beautifully

I know a place

A place called Blackness

And it's on the sea
